Common Academic Policies Chart

This chart summarizes some of the common policies of each PSR program with their different parameters such as minimum required units, expected length of program, milestones, etc. It does not encompass all requirements for all PSR programs  and there may be additional or special qualifications, processes, paperwork, and approval needed. For a complete description of the program requirements described in this chart, consult program manuals, the academic program director, and any academic announcements for additional qualifications or changes that may occur during a student's program.

Graduation

PSR holds a commencement once a year at the end of May. In the fall prior to your expected graduation, you will be asked to file and "Intent to Graduate" form and return it with a completed degree worksheet to the Associate Dean. Once you do so, you will become a candidate for graduation and will begin to receive mailings explaining the details and deadlines related to graduation, including information about your robe and hood. PSR does not issue diplomas at graduation, but you will receive your diploma cover then. Your diploma will be mailed to you around July 15.   

Required Number of PSR Credits

In all degree programs, one-third of all credits earned toward the degree, including transfer credits from within and outside the GTU, must be earned from PSR courses. For actual number of units in each program, consult the Academic Programs Common Policies Chart.
